Ok, so a GUI based app framework really seems to be a "hot topic". I'm going to push a couple of prototypes a bit more forward to prove my ideas fitting together while fulling my constraints how I want such a framework to be.

I keep you informed.

Don't want to curb anybody's ambitions but I see massive aliasing in the space and in the time domain. I actually wanted to post a link to the antigrain website, which, however, was removed after its author had passed away 2013. Apparently there is no archive copy of that impressing website. Remains: Wikipedia [1].

The old site is archived in wayback

And here is GUI framework done using it.

Correctness of what? Of the framework? Of course...

Not sure what you mean by this... it's a simple prototype. And, if you minify a responsive layout at some point your get rounding errors in. If course the screencast shows an artificial case.

Of couse we know AGG. Quality and speed is better than AGG.

Open a new document in MS Word or any other word processor and then press and hold the "L" key until the cursor hits the right margin. What do you see? Evenly spaced els?

The layout stuff we do is not meant to handle text layouting. That will be something different. How about a LaTeX like layout option? But correct font handling and text rendering is not easy... but step-by-step. Text rendering works so far...
